So decided to spend the weekend unwinding and getting some repetition in on copper casting to try to get a little better at it... Notes from the weekend.... Always use some copper phosphorous to degas and avoid the little pits and bubbles on the surfaces Best polishing is around 48 hours in...

One of our dogs still has her "favorite blankee". She will pull it around the patio, and if she does something she gets chastised for she'll go grab it, bunch it up between her front paws, and suck on it like a pacifier... I'll see about grabbing pics next time she does.

This is kinda where I'm at on this at this point in time. Same way people are "rediscovering" old games on actual physical media because the current game industry is such hot garbage. Many are rediscovering old shows that hold up. SG-1 , IMHO, holds up well. Embrace and love it for what it...

I've been pondering those options as well. Just strange that in the past it was always "When the wife or I need a better gaming rig, the old system becomes the hand me down to my home lab" and if I build s rig for this that direction will now reverse.... Possibly the AMD, or an Nvidia Spark box.

The wife and I finished this tonight, we've been trying to stretch out series so we have something to watch. We also did the B&W run on it and I thought it looked great. During it I did wonder how they "pulled off color" since I remember learning a long time ago about the "everything is...

Only around 3-4% of the US workforce is actually paid minimum wage. Where is REALLY matters is in all those union contracts which are negotiated with wages being a given multiplier of the minimum wage. So a bump in minimum wage equates to a huge pay off to labor unions for the most part.

I'm about to assemble the most powerful (and subsequently most expensive) computer I have ever assembled for home use. And I won't be installing a single game on it. (AI workstation/server system)

You've just described an absolute nightmare scenario I think about. I started having some hand tremors a while back. There's no history of PD in my family, but a history of something called "familial tremors". But in the back of my head I keep worrying about exactly what you're getting hit...

Yes, because only losers own/run hardware in the glorious age of..... THE CLOUD!

This was literally the scenario where I worked. They were posting up leaderboards of who was using AI for the most. So people started using it for everything... email... product descriptions... competitive intel.... things we literally already had internal sites and resources for half the...

How about we just mash T'ealc up with Amos, and add in Jayne's hat from Firefly?

As explained by a Dr I had once, over time your body's histamine system (which regulates what you are and aren't allergic to) can partially rotate. Which means you can gain and lose allergies over your lifetime, and most people lose them over time. When I was a wee Haus I was allergic to a...

I handle all my mom's finances and my sister coordinates all her medical stuff... Recently I get a text from one of her Dr's (Cardiologist) about her owning over $400 for some scan. I look into it. The Dr's website says the insurance paid $5, the insurance website says it's paid $150 and the...
